Hi, new to linux and have just installed Slacko but dont have any sound.
Have followed some youtube clips and other suggestions in the forum but to no avail.

I *may* have made things worse by changing (accidently) my audio HW=0 to 1 in the volume icon in taksbar. Now I cant get the retrovol or alsa mixer up in the task bar.
I have run alsaconf, and alsamixer from console and set the volumes up but still nothing. I cant find where to undo what I did but have run Alsa wizard a few times so that may be enough? I've tried to run retrovol from console and get
retrovol: hcontrol.c:573: snd_htcl_load: Assertion `htcl->count == 0` failed.

Any help on what to check / change and how to do it would be really appreciated.

The laptop is a 10yr old dell. Other than sound everything is working great.

Both those files are present.
I have now installed the Wary version of puppy and find it much quicker, thanks for the heads up.
I will try what is sugested in the firmware link but I have read it a couple of times and still not too sure what to do, I have unzipped and tried what is said but didnt find the make file.

Thanks for the manual, I tried to search but never found that. Maybe it was a location thing.

I dont think it was an issue with my sound being turned off by the function key, as I can change the screen brightness. One issue I have is the Fn button was removed by my daughter so it doesnt always work..

I am happy to just use a small set of speakers, thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. It's been fun and challenging to use linux, Just need to keep leaning the commands I think.
